Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning is Here on Home Video!

The end is neigh in Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, but as for what it means, only some people will be curious to check this film out.

Released: Jun 11, 2024

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Digimon movie that’s as sad as Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning. This film continues after the last. Here, the team meets Lui (Megumi Ogata). This lad says he’s the very first person to become DigiDestined and everyone is surprised.

His story is quite the opposite to others who embrace the role; he never wanted the job, and when he rejects his little pet monster, the way it self-destructs is quite graphic! It was at that moment where I realised this franchise is finally growing up. In addition to learning about why some individuals have a digital partner, there’s also whether everyone really needs one. When there’s a mysterious voice saying everyone should have a Digi-Partner to signal the start of this drama, not everyone agrees.

GoGoGo Speed Racer on Digital and VOD!

Fans of anime from the golden age will be happy Speed Racer is accessible from any and all platforms next month.

Speed Racer on VOD Although FUNimation’s home video release of Speed Racer is long out of print, fans of classic anime can rejoice! Shout! Studios have it ready for an online release beginning June 1, 2024. It’ll be available on various digital platforms and also as video-on-demand.

Myself, I’m hoping that what Emile Hirsch has been teasing two months ago with wanting the live-action adaptation back on screens (or on 4k) might shed light soon. This movie by The Wachowskis have earned cult status, and even I’m begging for it. Perhaps after this release, we’ll get more information since there’s a contingent of fans wanting to scratch that nostalgia itch in more ways than one.
